Kindred Hearts

I was lost and so alone
A little child trapped inside
You found me reaching for a heart
To form a kindred bond with mine

At first I only hatred knew
No father's hugs; no mother's love
Covered it all with a smiling facade
When really peace was so far off

You were the first to show me something
I had yearned for all my life
The unconditional loving warmth
That helped me ease my pain and strife

You showed me that I did belong
Then taught me ways to learn and grow
And if I somehow never met you
How I'd survive, I do not know

I wish you knew how much it means
How all the things you do and say
Have burrowed deep within my heart
And helped me through my darkest days

You have me hope I never had
And made the scriptures words ring true
Though mom and dad may turn away
I've finally gained them back in you

And as I write this little poem
I know it doesn't say enough
And even if I wrote forever
I could not repay your love

For you mean more than words can say
You've helped me more than you could know
You watered me, a damaged seed
And through your kindness I have grown

Author's Note

Tentative title. Maybe more like a letter than a poem. This one was written for two very special people.

It is a poem. A poem expressing gratitude for showing you the way to peace. If we are lucky someone will give us love and try to make us strong. The poem tells a powerful story with a beautiful ending. A outstanding poem.
